Technical Project Lead Full Time

About Airdev 

For many decades, building custom software meant writing thousands of lines of code by hand. Today, AI has fundamentally changed what’s possible. High-quality products can be built faster, cheaper, and with far less manual effort than ever before.

Airdev is a software development agency that has fully embraced this shift. We use AI-powered development tools and workflows to help clients, from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, turn their ideas into powerful, scalable software.

About the role
We’re looking for a Technical Project Lead to own the delivery of complex software projects from kickoff through launch.

You’ll be the central point of coordination for each project you manage, working with our team members and clients to make sure requirements are clear, work is properly sequenced, and nothing slips through the cracks. You’ll write detailed specifications, manage task breakdowns, run client meetings, and keep everyone aligned on progress and priorities.

The applications we build often involve multiple user types, intricate business logic, and dozens of interconnected features. You’ll need to understand how all the pieces fit together well enough to spot gaps in requirements, anticipate dependencies, and keep everything moving in the right order.

You’ll work closely with Product Directors (who own product strategy and architecture) and Account Directors (who own the client relationship), while you own the execution.

What you’ll do

• Run projects from requirements through delivery, making sure work is completed on time and within scope
• Create and maintain detailed task lists, translating requirements into clear items for developers
• Write feature specifications that give developers what they need to build correctly
• Lead regular client calls to communicate progress, gather feedback, and align on priorities
• Coordinate across internal teams to keep projects moving and resolve blockers quickly
• Monitor project health and flag risks before they impact timelines
• Maintain clear documentation so project status and decisions are always visible

Things we look for

We value a mix of hard and soft skills, as well as alignment to our core values, in all of our people. Some specific qualities for this role include:

• 3+ years of experience in technical project management, software QA, or a similar role working closely with development teams
• Solid understanding of software fundamentals: databases, APIs, data relationships, and application logic. You can read a detailed technical specification and fully grasp what’s being described.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational instincts. You create systems to track work and follow through relentlessly.
• Clear, precise written communication. Your specs and documentation leave little room for misinterpretation.
• You identify issues early and address them before they escalate.
• Comfort managing complexity. You can keep track of many moving pieces and understand how they connect.
• Confidence in client-facing communication. You can lead a meeting, explain technical concepts in plain terms, and manage expectations well.
• Experience in an agency or consulting environment, or managing multiple concurrent projects, is a plus

Why work at Airdev?

At Airdev, you’ll have full ownership of your work and see the direct impact of your contributions as we pioneer the future of software development.

Here’s what we provide to support your success:
